Would DCT cause a spin out?

    I wonder here if there are electronics preventing wheelspin to occur during shifts or not in powerful DCT vehicles?

    Now if that shift would occur mid turn, would it upset the vehicle or would electronics make shift such that shift happening close to grip limits would not cause spin out?

    Old automatics were bit annoying at winter for those with less experience as they might make a shift and cause RWD car to spin quite easily.

    I just have no idea about modern ones.

    DCT like modern electronically-controlled sequentials, cuts fuel during upshift.
